• Gold explorer and near-term producer LaFleur Minerals is approaching restarting gold production operations at its gold deposit in the globally recognized Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec
• LaFleur is undergoing a 7,500 metre drill program, with assayed results thus far showing multiple mineralized zones and favorable conditions for a near-surface, open-pit operation at its Swanson Gold Project
• The company’s position is further de-risked by a fully permitted tailings storage facility and gold mill capable of processing over 750 metric tons per day, just 60 km from its exploration project
• LaFleur has consolidated claims around its now district-scale 18,304-hectare (45,230-acre) Swanson site and production at its nearby Beacon Gold Mill will begin with a de-risked bulk sample from Swanson, while further expansion following mineral structures across the site remains a potential option

Gold explorer and near-term producer LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is advancing towards gold production restart at its Swanson Gold Deposit in the renowned Abitibi Greenstone Belt. With production launch aimed for early next year, LaFleur is obtaining the technical information it needs to guide dig operations, including conducting a Preliminary Economic Assessment and the capital needed to relaunch the company’s fully permitted gold mill only 60 km from its Swanson Gold Deposit, the primary source of mineralized material.

LaFleur’s ongoing 7,500 metre drilling operation has already produced assay results showing high-grade, near-surface intercepts, which exist in the district-scale site strategically located in the Val-d’Or mining district of Quebec — easily accessible by road and rail from regional transport hubs. 

The company plans an open-pit mining operation, and the diamond drill cores that exhibited 7.47 g/t gold (Au) over 1.35 meters, 7.68 g/t gold (Au) over 1.0 meter, and 17.80 g/t gold (Au) over 1.0 meter in six of the test holes sustain a potential growth scenario through multiple mineralized zones. 

“We are building confidence in the scale and continuity of the gold system at Swanson,” LaFleur Minerals CEO Paul Ténière stated in a news release dated Sept. 24 (https://ibn.fm/jhkky). “These assay results represent important step-outs at Swanson, extending known mineralization significantly along strike in both directions.”

LaFleur’s near-term revenue strategy centers on the company’s Beacon Gold Mill, which is situated 20 minutes’ drive from the town of Val-d’Or and proximate to the company’s Swanson exploration site. As such, it will be able to accept mineralized material for processing not only from LaFleur’s Swanson site, but also from other mining operations in the greenstone belt if they wish to contract for its custom services – whereby the region hosts over 100 historic and active gold deposits.

Gold prices have risen almost 50 percent since the start of the year. Even as market watchers eye signs of a potential sector reset, the outlook for the industry has remained optimistic (https://ibn.fm/uap95). 

LaFleur’s mill is a proven asset that benefits from over $20 million worth of recent upgrades performed by the previous owner, acquired at significant bargain pricing in a bankruptcy proceeding and positioned with low production restart costs, shy of $5 million. Access to power structure and skilled labor further reduces the company’s development risk and strengthens its strategic position in one of the world’s most attractive gold belts, and Canada’s largest gold producing regions.

“There are two major structures that run through Swanson that host gold and even base metals,” LaFleur CEO Paul Ténière said during a recent interview with CEO.CA’s Inside the Boardroom podcast (https://ibn.fm/OZ8M6). “We’ve done a pretty good job of consolidating originally around the Swanson deposit and have grown it to as it is. There are other opportunities, especially to the south and southeast of Swanson. … And so, what we’re looking at doing is consolidating and adding claims from adjacent properties into (Swanson) to continue to expand. And the good news with that is that once we consolidate, we also have a rig available that we can actually start drilling on those right away.”

“Our mill alone is valued at $70 million, our market cap now is about $42 (million)-$43 million,” LaFleur Chairman Kal Malhi said as he appeared alongside Ténière in the interview. “The totality of the deal really is, I think, an exciting investment opportunity.”

Its strategy emphasizes responsible exploration, efficient development, and alignment with emerging clean energy demand. Through disciplined execution, the company aims to build lasting value across energy and industrial markets.

MAX Power Mining (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company pioneering the development of natural hydrogen as a potential new primary energy source. As a first mover in this emerging sector, the company has assembled North America’s largest permitted land package targeting naturally occurring, emissions-free hydrogen accumulations in the earth’s subsurface.

MAX Power plans to commence Canada’s first dedicated deep drilling program for natural hydrogen in November 2025, starting on the 200-km-long Genesis Trend in southern Saskatchewan, with the goal of converting a discovery into the world’s first commercial natural hydrogen venture in 2026.

Backed by institutional partnerships and a highly experienced technical team, MAX Power continues to build a globally recognized brand in the natural hydrogen sector. Its massive land package in Saskatchewan currently comprises 1.3 million permitted acres with another 5.7 million acres under application.

Saskatchewan, a jurisdiction recognized for its supportive regulatory environment and clean energy innovation, features North America’s most advanced policy framework for the exploration and development of natural hydrogen. The province is also known for its spectacular resource endowment as the world’s leading potash provider, the top high-grade uranium producer in the world, and Canada’s second-largest oil producer. Saskatchewan is also Canada’s leader in helium production, geothermal energy and carbon capture.

The company’s head offices are in Saskatchewan’s two largest cities, Saskatoon and Regina.

Projects

Natural Hydrogen (Saskatchewan)

MAX Power holds multiple large land packages across Saskatchewan prospective for deposits of natural hydrogen, highlighted by the 200-km-long Genesis Trend and the 75-km-wide Grasslands Project.

Genesis features easy road, rail and power access and a proposed hydrogen hub on its eastern side where there is an abundance of potential end-users for natural hydrogen. Drilling is set to begin in early November 2025 at the Lawson target situated in the heart of Genesis. Canada’s first deep well for natural hydrogen is specifically designed to test a complete five-element hydrogen system interpreted to exist at Lawson: source rocks, migration pathways, reservoirs, seals, and traps. Data from vintage and proprietary 2D seismic, gravity and magnetic surveys, and subsurface mapping, among other geological and geophysical information, support the prospectivity of Lawson which lies adjacent to an extensive regional “Salt Barrier” offering excellent seal and trap conditions.

The Genesis Trend’s scalability is further demonstrated by the recent identification of the Lucky Lake target, approximately 50 km northwest of Lawson and one of at least 20 Lawson “look-a-likes” that is being investigated along the trend. Early interpretation suggests serpentinized rocks and structural features favorable for hydrogen generation exist at Lucky Lake.

At Grasslands, geologists are excited about a broad area in the vicinity of a well (“Climax”) near the U.S. border that was drilled a few years ago and inadvertently resulted in Canada’s first known deep subsurface occurrence of natural hydrogen, associated with a rare rock assemblage geologists refer to as “exotic terrane”. Permits covering an area stretching 75 km east-west and up to 10 km north-south were acquired by MAX Power next to this discovery, amplifying the company’s first-mover advantage. Adjacent to three sides of Grasslands are producing helium wells owned by privately held North American Helium, demonstrating that this under-explored area of the province is highly prospective for clean gas. Drilling of a target at Grasslands is expected during Q1 2026.

Other MAX Power land packages are Rider 1, 2 and 3 in the southeast part of the province, and Choiceland in the north-central part of the province.

To enhance scientific rigor and accelerate development, MAX Power has established a multi-year strategic collaboration with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (“PTRC”), a globally recognized leader in subsurface energy research based in Regina, Saskatchewan. This partnership complements the company’s relocation to Innovation Saskatchewan’s R+T Parks in Saskatoon and Regina, placing its technical and executive teams at the heart of the province’s academic, regulatory, and infrastructure ecosystem.

Critical Minerals

MAX Power’s other key asset is its Wilcox Lithium Project in mining-friendly Cochise County in southeast Arizona where first-ever diamond drilling in late 2023/early 2024 confirmed the discovery of near-surface lithium-rich clays over a broad area of the Willcox Playa. MAX Power’s property occurs within a nearly 4,000-acre corridor adjacent to U.S. Department of Defense land, and benefits from direct access through roads, rail and power infrastructure. The discovery was made just as lithium entered its final price downturn and is now being intensely revisited by the company in light of the turnaround in lithium and an emphasis on critical mineral resource development in the United States under the Trump administration.

Market Opportunity

According to company materials, the global hydrogen market is valued at approximately $250 billion and is expected to surpass $400 billion by 2030. Supporting this outlook, a study published in Science Advances (Dec. 2024) estimates that in-place natural hydrogen resources could meet global net-zero carbon goals for roughly 200 years. Closer to home, a feasibility study by the Transition Accelerator (April 2024) projects that the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor (“RMJIC”) in Saskatchewan could support a C$708 million annual hydrogen market, with province-wide demand reaching as high as C$2.7 billion per year.

These projections underscore a compelling opportunity to establish a new energy economy centered around natural hydrogen—a low-cost, low-emission, and potentially naturally replenishing resource. MAX Power is well-positioned to lead this effort with proximity to infrastructure, favorable geology, and increasing institutional support.

Leadership Team

Mansoor Jan, CEO, brings more than two decades of international experience across mining operations, capital markets, and business development. He has held senior positions at BHP Australia, BHP Chile, and Rio Tinto, where he was responsible for advancing cross-border projects, driving mine optimization, and leading technology delivery across major jurisdictions. Mr. Jan holds a BA and MSc in Economics and a Master of Commerce from the University of New South Wales in Australia.

Neil McMillan, Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, is the former Chairman of the Board of Cameco, the world’s largest publicly traded uranium company.

The move came as Safe & Green’s subsidiary Olenox Corp. announced completion of Phase 1 of its intelligent wellsite monitoring system, a data-driven platform designed to cut costs, boost production efficiency, and reduce the environmental footprint of field operations (https://ibn.fm/5EaaX).

At the core of Olenox’s new system is the Machfu Gateway, a flexible Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) platform that connects remote field assets to centralized analytics through secure cloud or private networks. The integration of Machfu’s technology enables Olenox to gather continuous performance data, automate adjustments at the wellsite, and execute precision-based optimization that was previously dependent on manual input and field visits.

Olenox’s proprietary algorithm analyzes water-cut percentages, the ratio of water to oil produced at a wellsite, and automatically regulates pumpjack operations in real time. The system can adjust pump speeds or temporarily pause production to allow reservoir balance, reducing unnecessary lifting costs, extending equipment lifespan, and conserving energy.

“This marks a major step forward in merging AI with traditional oilfield operations,” said Michael McLaren, CEO of Olenox Corp. “Our intelligent monitoring platform will help us make smarter, faster decisions at the wellsite—reducing costs, conserving energy, and setting a new standard for efficiency across our operations.”

The collaboration with Machfu, a technology firm known for its Edge-to-Enterprise(R) IoT solutions, plays a pivotal role in Olenox’s digital transformation. Machfu’s gateway devices enable industrial operators to comply with environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) standards while improving operational resilience. Through this collaboration, Olenox can remotely monitor equipment health, reservoir dynamics, and site performance, transforming data into actionable insights that can be used to improve recovery rates and sustainability outcomes.

In a further show of confidence, company leadership and directors have elected to take equity in lieu of cash compensation, aligning their interests directly with shareholders (https://ibn.fm/glDU5). McLaren converted a portion of a note payable to him into equity, while board members and senior leaders opted to take their third-quarter compensation entirely in shares. The move strengthens the company’s balance sheet and conserves cash while reinforcing management’s confidence in its long-term strategy.

“This decision by our Board, management team, and myself demonstrates our collective belief in the value we are building for shareholders,” said McLaren. “By taking equity in place of cash, we are putting our confidence in Safe and Green Holdings’ future into action.” 

CFO Tricia Kaelin added that the shift preserves cash for growth and aligns leadership’s incentives with investors. “By converting debt to equity, we further strengthen our balance sheet, and we are preserving our cash for growth by issuing shares in lieu of monetary compensation,” she added.

These initiatives reflect Safe & Green Holdings’ broader effort to align with current U.S. priorities around domestic energy independence and sustainable industrial development. By relocating to Texas, the company places itself at the center of the U.S. energy economy, while Olenox’s use of AI and remote monitoring addresses efficiency and environmental goals that resonate across the sector, further cementing Safe & Green’s position as an energy development and support company.

Izotropic (CSE: IZO) (OTCQB: IZOZF) (FSE: 1R3), a medical device firm leading imaging-based solutions for better diagnosis, screening, and treatment of breast cancer patients, is bringing the challenges of current screening systems and the unique potential of the IzoView Breast CT Imaging solutions as part of efforts to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month (ibn.fm/Hml57).

Breast cancer accounts for a third of cancer diagnoses among American women, making the need for better imaging solutions critical. Current solutions like tomosynthesis, mammography, and ultrasound are limited by tissue overlap, compression, and a high rate of false positives. These issues are quite common among women with dense breast tissue, a situation common among over 50% of women within the screening-age group. 

The firm’s IzoView Breast CT was created to solve these issues. IzoView can capture about 500 high-resolution images in less than 10 seconds with the patients lying face down and without breast compression. Studies at UC Davis, where the initial breast CT technology was created and licensed exclusively to Izotropic, have revealed malignant masses to be more obvious on optimized breast CT than on DBT or mammography, with a spatial resolution reaching 100 times more than magnetic resonance imaging. 

Izotropic’s strategy attempts to close the gap between MRI and digital breast tomosynthesis, giving imaging centers and hospitals a better, mid-range option that boosts the accuracy of detection, devoid of the attendant complexity and cost of MRI technology. IzoView’s projected price of USD $500,000 means it will be adopted across the healthcare ecosystem.

With regulatory organizations like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the FDA scaling up efforts in ensuring better imaging for women with dense tissues, Izotropic’s solution perfectly syncs with policy directions and emerging clinical needs. Recent mandates in America necessitate breast density notifications after mammography, highlighting the urgency and market opportunity for better imaging options.

With a core focus on the breast imaging industry, Izotropic is changing the way diagnosis and the comfort of patients are provided. These updates highlight the firm’s vision to empower clinicians with next-gen imaging tools that help improve patient outcomes and diagnostic confidence and save human lives.
